This article seeks to define the conditions for a fair test of the hypo that a ruling dlite (RC) exists in a community that is superficially `open' or `democratic'. A Re is defined as a controlling group less than a majority in size that is not a pure artifact of democratic rules, whose preferences regularly prevail in cases of diff's in preference on key pol'al issues. A fair test requires that (1) the hypothetical R6 is a well-defined group. (2) There is a fair sample of cases involving key pol'al decision in which the preferences of the hypothetical R4 run counter to those of any other likely group that might be suggested. (3) In such cases, the preferences of the elite regularly prevail. 3 improper tests are considered: (i) tests that fail to distinguish potential for control, potential for unity, & pol'al effectiveness. (ii) Tests that confuse a Re with a group of individuals more influential than others. (iii) Tests that generalize from a single scope of influence. 6 difficulties & objections to the proposed test are examined. It is pointed out that studies like those of Clyde Hunter & C. Wright Mills, which purport to find Re's, fail to meet the proposed test. AA-IPSA.

"The Nature of Identitarianism explores the background to this new far right movement. Since its origins in France in 2003, identitarianism has become one of the most influential far-right ideologies. Inspiring groups such as Generation Identity in Europe and the alt-right in America, identitarianism has spawned a far-right constellation that includes white nationalist direct action groups, think tanks, "alternative media" organizations and social media "celebrities". But the ideas that underpin identitarianism are often poorly understood. This book examines the movement's antecedents and intellectual lineage in the thinkers of the Conservative Revolution and the European New Right, as well as the influence of far-right gurus such as Francis Parker Yockey, Jean Thiriart, Julius Evola and Alexander Dugin. The author also investigates how conspiracy thinking, antisemitism and islamophobia feature prominently in the identitarian worldview. This book will be essential reading for scholars and activists alike with an interest in race relations, fascism, extremism and social movements"--
